This week, we have been supporting our partner, Ella’s in reviewing and renewing their strategy. Ella’s is a UK-based charity that works with women who have survived trafficking and sexual exploitation. We are working with the team to strengthen their leadership and organisational effectiveness, whilst emphasising the importance of wellbeing and compassion.
